" It's not that I can't cross the streets myself...It's the cars..." Toronto City Council has been handing out Bylaw Density Amendments to ridiculously tall building developers (ed. note: 'developers of ridiculously tall buildings' might be better grammatically...) ...Like candy... Well, see Section 37 says that City Council gets a 30% kickback...30% of the Expected Profit on the tall new building, if the gov't just says yes to looking the other way when it comes to ecology & the environment & sanity & just all that is good & noble in the world... The last time they said yes & I got a look at the numbers, it said $337,000 of Section 37 bribe money was going to parks in our neighborhood... What did we get? Well some sort of designer put up some fences & in another park some cement rocks to sit on...A designer looking playground went up... Hmmm...The problem is that square footage was not increased...The parks are getting smaller & now they just have more furniture & walls... So the people with dogs huddle in the fenced off areas & come home smelling, like, well, pooh, because density increases mean more tall buildings than an area can handle...Pooh-wise... It's a scam...Our Canadian gov't right now is as phony as, as phony as, as phony as a Canadian gov't... We'd been good for so long, we got complacent...Everyone knows Canadians are good...Right? But now they, we, are not...We, they, are corrupt... So Robert who is blind needs to wait for help crossing the streets...Because density now means there are way too many cars moving way too fast & they don't see his cane & think he can jump out of the way like the pigeons & the raccoons & the squirrels who try...

If you see a person with a white cane, help them across the street...Show them where their pharmacy is...Wait while their prescription is filled...Walk them back... It's the least we can do while we stuff real estate gain money into our back pockets because we sold out to the foreign speculative monies who have psychosis when it comes to eco-friendly urban planning...
